in thread Problems starting the debugger

Many thanks indeed haukex!!! I will check those threads out next.

It was so weird I couldn't find the same list of posts when I searched at first. I think it may have been a stale browser cache or something. Either that or I had transcribed the error message wrongly but my eyes glazed over the inaccuracy.

In regards the 'TERM' environment variable; is that a new thing? I have dabbled with the debugger a very little in the past and it never came up with that error before. I am pretty sure I didn't have 'dumb' set on those occasions.

Anyway--all's well that ends better!!!

    The variable itself is AFAIK not new, I think it's been around on *NIX systems for a long time, but not on Windows. But since many *NIX tools have been ported to Windows nowadays, they often still expect the common *NIX environment variables to be around.

    I am pretty sure I didn't have 'dumb' set on those occasions.

    I don't know, either the issue just didn't exist before, or it might have been set for you by a batch file like Strawberry Perl's portableshell.bat - in this node, Athanasius mentioned that Strawberry Perl 5.18.2 did set TERM=dumb, while 5.20.0 did set TERM=.
